Is the Honors Program worth it?

<p>I saw that you have to take special classes If you decided to join the Honors Program. Is it really worth it? I want to apply, but I'm not 100% sure. What are the benefits of being on the HP?</p>

<p>No it is not worth it. Not really any worthwhile benefits. Slightly better East campus dorm, but the West campus dorms are better anyway.</p>

<p>I disagree with burdell2324. I wrote a post on the honors program some years ago here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/9475655-post3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/9475655-post3.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Here is a list of HP events for this semester: <a href=“http://www.honorsprogram.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/Spring%202013%20tentative%20schedule%20of%20events.pdf[/url]”>http://www.honorsprogram.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/Spring%202013%20tentative%20schedule%20of%20events.pdf&lt;/a&gt; As you can see, there are quite a few opportunities to connect with the faculty. If you are interested in research, or simply academically curious and want a more reflective college experience, I think the honors program at Tech is worthwhile.</p>
